I've been helping my jr. high aged neighbor girl with her sewing when she
gets stuck. I must say I really enjoy this. Not only the sewing part but we
do have some interesting conversations as we are undoing, doing up or
redoing parts of her projects. She was quite surprised to find out that boys
were the same problem 50 years ago as they are now and delighted to find she
was probably even more confusing to them LOL

The one question that stumped me however was about lining. What's the
difference between lining a skirt and wearing a nice taffeta, cotton or some
woven type fabric slip. Well, I was stumped, what is the difference, pros
and cons, so to speak. I couldn't answer that question. Any input ladies? I
told her I'd toss this question out and let her take a look at the answers
when she got home this afternoon.

Val: Good for you, passing the skills to
another generation ... or at least doing
some coaching.
I think the answer to your question lies
largely in the 'you'll just
know/feel/see the difference in
practice' category. Other than that, I'd
say that the lining moves WITH the
skirt, while a slip moves independently.

The lining helps shape the fabric of the skirt, gives it body and helps
it hang correctly.

A slip, as a layer between you and your clothing, gives you modesty,
smooths the panty line, and protects your clothing from body oil.
